I have a 2021 KTM 250sxf with one ride on it. After the first day I rode the bike I came home and washed it. Well the day after, I come into my garage to see this. The forks are absolutely filthy and I know that I did a thorough job cleaning the bike, so I just grabbed some soap and water to try and clean it off. After sitting there trying to clean it nothing ever happened. No matter how hard I try to clean the forks they are still filthy. Has anyone ever seen this? Could the anodizing be messed up? Anyone know how to fix or clean this? I also have a 2019 KTM 250sx with 200 hours on it and haven’t had this problem on that bike.

If it's the same cleaner, same water, same track something else changed.
Was it a mud race, and did the promoter drop a ton of white powder looking stuff on the puddled start?
If you disagree test it on some black anodized part and you will see exactly this.
You can use Never Dull or some other very light metal polish to try and clean it up.
On a positive note, Simple Green is great for tires, not that many of us clean tires at that level, but it will not harm rubber, it helps maintain or increase the softness of the compound.
